Last bump.......promise. Rare collectable instruments in great condition! You know you want one!

New Year bump. Y'all be safe out there!

These are the two hardshell cases, original to the Wurlitzer and the Schmidt. One has been chewed a bit but the interior is fine; the other in nearly perfect.

Indeed. The Wurlitzer is my personal favorite among these three, a real gem. The compensation mod to the saddle is little more than a scuff mark.........a ukulele saddle is much too narrow to do much compensation work.

A bit of clarification.......... I am in Texas and will pay shipping to CONUS addresses only......no international offers considered, sorry. Payment received via PayPal, friends & family. Will accept a check but it will have to clear before shipment. At this time the Wurlitzer and the Schmidt...

It has come time to move a few of my ukuleles to better hands. Here are three exceptional examples I hope to sell. All three of these instruments have been examined and setup by Jake Wildwood and I have linked his write ups of his work as the best way to display them. At this time they are...

This Mobious strap is quite unique and holds the instrument in a good balance. Mobius Strap

That's quite an extreme reaction but I'm glad you like it........it is nice. Sounds like those old, mid-rangy instruments of the era.

I've read extensively on the American Civil War and every now and then a lyric jumps out. This is an historically accurate tale of the 20th Maine's defense of Little Round Top, July 2, 1863, the second day of the fight at Gettysburg, PA. Commanded by a university professor, Col. Joshua...

Well.......the voice ain't what it used to be and this is as good as it gets for me these days........ (......and a question.......it's been several years since I was last here and I am wondering what the "points" thing is all about......)

Has anyone seen another one of these? It's an early 1920s Oscar Schmidt 5K of all koa encrusted with pearl and abalone from stem to stern. I believe this to be a one-off built as a presentation piece...............

Guess this one is about trying to make a new friend..........

Got too many ukuleles! After a 3-year ukulele hiatus, I have recently purchased a new guitar and am ready to thin the uke herd. Here we have two fine examples of 20s builds in A+ condition. Both instruments have been serviced by Jake of Antebellum Instruments and there are links below to his...

A tale of woe and teeth gnashing from our protagonist, a miserable soul. Recorded this one in the Seasons on ukulele some weeks back, restricted to just two chords per the hosts' rules. This is how the melody was originally done..... I find it a bit odd that on a songwriting sub forum there...

In August of 2005 I was kicking around a phrase, trying to write a lyric about a relationship on the rocks: you'd better pray our lucky stars will intervene. I was getting no where. On August 28th as I watched the evening news coverage of the approach of Hurricane Katrina, the phrase took on a...

A tale of frontier justice and apathy in old Tombstone. Short and to the point........... Critics welcome.

Okay, tunesmiths, what say ye to this?

About three years ago I bought my first ukulele and parted ways with the guitar.......sold them all and didn't look back. Until last week when I tracked down this Gibson Hummingbird Vintage. I couldn't stop myself from whipping out the credit card. So after a few days of finger pain (ukulele...

Seems to me since this is the Singing sub-forum perhaps we should have a thread for singing performances, with ukulele accompaniment of course. But singing, you know? Not about your chops on the uke but about the singing. I've seen so many great players post videos of pieces I could never...

Wow what a beauty! This one will be home next week from Jake's shop in the mountains of Vermont after a little TLC. We're thinking this one is a one-off custom build for someone that wanted a maxed out 5K. Even the fretboard and the bridge are flame koa. Amazing, tedious hand work with all...
